The book of Moses is an ideal starting point
for a scripture-based study of temple themes.
It is well known, for example, that the LDS
temple endowment, like the book of Moses,
includes includes the stories of Creation and
of Adam and Eve. What is more rarely
appreciated, however, is that the relationship
between scripture and temple teachings goes
two ways. Not only have many of the stories
of the book of Moses been included in the
endowment, but also, in striking abundance,
themes echoing temple architecture,
furnishings, ordinances, and covenants have
been deeply woven into the text of the book
of Moses itself.
In order to identify and explore temple
themes in the book of Moses, Jeffrey M.
Bradshaw has combined insights from
scripture, modern prophets, and religious
scholars with relevant excerpts from ancient
religious documents. Written in a clear and
compelling style, and including over one
hundred full color images, this book aims to provide an increased appreciation for the doctrines
and ordinances of the temple, and for the book of Moses as inspired scripture.
